1273. It was narrated that 'Atā' said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbās say: 'I bear witness that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed before the sermon, then he delivered the sermon. And he thought that the women had not heard, so he went over to them and reminded them (of Allāh) and preached to them and enjoined them to give in charity, and Bilāl was spreading his hands like this, and the women started giving their earrings, rings and things.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
The words 'I bear witness' have been used by Ibn 'Abbās ﷺ to underline the fact that he is narrating the Hadith with full assurance, since he clearly remembers every word of it. It is like a person stating something under oath to dispel any doubts concerning the veracity of his statement.
